Love my sleeve!!
This is a great thread.. We've probs all experienced some of these put downs. I've got a few but I'll start with this one.
Years ago when I was just over an acceptable size; I went to pick up my little girl from my parents house. It was a lovely warm day and they had been sitting outside. As I walked towards them I noticed my mother was sitting on a new reclining chair. Admiring them, I went to sit in the empty chair to which my mother started saying...."Don't sit there - they're only for normal people"
I still haven't forgotten it, I was really hurt and just gathered up the bairn and left. :-(
She wouldn't get away with saying anything like that now!!
omg your own mother said that? that must have been so hurtful i'd cry
